Look, nobody said that going into deep space would be the safest thing you've ever done. And, unfortunately... well... the ship's about to be destroyed. There's a life pod, but you gotta get there, of course. That's your goal in Mission Catastrophe, a new competitive/cooperative board game up on Kickstarter.

From the campaign:

The game is more than 2x funded with 7 days left to go.

Tall Tales extends the idea of party games where you need to come up with just a word or short phrase and then players vote on which is best. In it, instead of just a word or phrase, you come up with a short scene that gets added to an ever-growing story. In the end, you have a winner, memories, and a (hopefully) great story to tell later. The game is up on Kickstarter now.

The Kids on Brooms world is getting a spin-off game in the form of Duel of Wands. In this new card game, players take the role of young spellcasters looking to prove their might with mighty magic duels. You can go over and get your name on the list so you'll be the first sorcerer or sorceress on your block with this game when it's released.

From the website:

Casters have long used magic to settle their disputes, often with disastrous effects.  Over the years, these duels developed into the codified contest of skill and cunning that we have today: the Duel of Wands.

In Duel of Wands, players are attempting to prove themselves the superior caster, slinging spells at each other to try and remove their opponent’s Psyche and win the duel. Don’t grow too confident in victory; between rounds, the loser will have the opportunity to study and improve their spells!

Ah, the Prime Directive. Such a curious thing. And when the Federation's foes show up at an uncontacted planet and are about to dive in to get a new power source, the options are limited for the crew. How will your away team handle it in The Prize, a new adventure available for Star Trek Adventures?

From the website:

Confrontation at Epsilon Alpha III!

When the player characters receive a coded message from the science station at Epsilon Alpha III, they learn of the discovery of a powerful alien energy source. However, the artifact is located in an area sacred to the native inhabitants, who are as yet unaware of the Federation. When the Federation’s adversaries arrive at the planet, also intent on securing the artifact, the player characters must decide how to resolve the impending conflict—by diplomacy, confrontation, or involving the locals and violating the Prime Directive in the process?

This standalone 21-page PDF adventure by Jonathan M. Thompson is for the Star Trek Adventures Roleplaying Game and is set during The Next Generation era. This adventure also contains advice for adaptation for use in campaigns based in other Star Trek eras. Download includes a regular version and a printer-friendly version.

Roleplaying games are lots of fun. I should know, as I've been playing them for literally decades. And I've played with a lot of new players. Some have taken to it readily. Some really liked the idea, but the systems we were using were a bit complex for them. Thankfully, there's a new RPG system coming out that's designed specifically to bring new players into the fold. It's called BaG, which stands for Basic and Generic, and it's up on Kickstarter now.

From the campaign:

The campaign's up and over its funding goal (being fair, they weren't asking for much) with 23 days left to go.

There's a new set of Pathfinder Battles Deep Cut figures available from WizKids this week. But, seeing as Pathfinder is a Paizo game, they're the ones with the article all about 'em. Want to see what's in this latest wave? Head on over and check it out.

From the website:

This week, our partners at WizKids released the thirteenth wave of Pathfinder Battles Deep Cuts unpainted plastic miniatures. Thirteen! I can’t believe our little baby is a teenager already. As we approach the darkest, coldest (and likely most socially distanced) part of winter, I imagine a lot of folks are going to have some free time to paint minis, and we’ve got you covered!

This time around we have two Huge figures, the Huge Air Elemental Lord and Huge Fire Elemental Lord that first appeared in painted form as premium figures accompanying the Maze of Death set. While both air and fire are clear, these nevertheless offer a lot of texture for you to put your own little touches on when painting.

Yes, I realize that the Celts are real people. And yes, I know that Warlords of Erehwon is a fantasy game. But the former is getting an army in the latter, as the game's designer, Rick, has been adding various real-world peoples into the game. So, why not check out what they're able to do?

From the website:

Rick’s been busy tinkering with Warlords of Erehwon, expanding the game in both historical and fantastical directions – you can find many additional resources on his website but for this article we’re focussing on Celts and Celt Warbands.

Rick: A few folks have asked for a specific list to cover historical Celts. Although it is a fairly simple matter to construct a Celt Warband from the existing Barbarian list, I’ve pulled the relevant entries into one place and made some adjustments to terminology and detail to create a specific list for ‘Celts’.
